THF PRESIDENT AND REFoRM.
rR0gfon Journal

Twenty-eight months ago the President
had at his disposal 56,134 Offices which he
might have taken out of politics or treat as
party spolls. He has done the latter by max
were those of men who were Democrats. The
scant remainder is rapidly being changed.
No administration ever made cleaner
sweep than this. Even when Mr. Lincoln
became President and hundreds of Southern
jority of the officers and clerks were disloy-
al, the change was not so general. OF the
Presidential offices, the President has turned
over 1852 of the 300 to men of his own Sc
lection. OF those left when Congress. adj
journed 359 were postmasters, and of these
253 have been changed since March 4. The
Others would, in all probability, have been
changed if his party friends could have
agreed upon the men to have them.

Mr.. Lawrence Oliphanti must have been
blessed by the fates with the gift-priceless
to journalist-of always finding himself
present whenever an extraordinary occur
renee takes place. He seems to attract
events as amber draws bits Of paper. Con-
sequently, his Episodes in Life of Adyen-
ture are only the natural everyday record of
his extraordinary existence; and while, of
course, no anecdote loses in the telling by
the pen OF newspaper correspondent, ey-
cry brother of the Press will envy Mr.. Oil
phant his luck in the possession of so many
Items, all OF which he saw, and part of which
he was. He was in Italy in the revolution Of
164S, and witnessed the Indian mutiny and
the Chinese war of 1857 He was acquainted
with Garibaldi; and was in the midst of the
horrors of the attack upon the British Lega-
tion to Japan. He heard the guns at Cra-
con and Warsaw, and at the battle of Mis-
sunde. And the moral which he draws from
all these wild scenes of commotion and hor-
ror is that above the false storms of the
world there must be clear and immovable
heaven. Hence Mr.. Oliphant is at present
devoting his reportorial faculties to the study
and investigation of pyschal phenomena,
and will probably report them with the same
journalistic enterprise that has marked his
mundane observations. New York Harper

1t is no inconsiderable test of literary fac
ulty and of the power of seeing and report
ing things as they are, to write in these days
book of travels that is not only readable,
but impresses itself upon the readers memo
ry. Mr.. John Bell Bouton's Roundabout to
Moscow stands this test bravely; and is, in
fact, one of the liyliest, most original and
unaffected of recent itineraries. The perso-
nal element-so often used to the point of
vulgarity and tedium-is employed skillfully
by Mr.. Benton. The reader is interested in
his adventures, but without the feeling that
the tourist is making an absurd exhibition of
his discomforts. prejudices and sensations.
His sketches of figures are capital; the wom-
an whose abuse of cosmetics suggested the
title of Old Paint, the sentimental tourist
known as Excelsior, and others who appear
here and there among the pages of the vol
ume, are enjoyably drawn. Mr.. Bouton's
impressions Of Russia are extremely fresh
and interesting and prove him to have fol-
lowed his own counsel, leaving behind him,
at the boundary line of the realm of the
Car, whatever fine old crusty English preju-
dices might have been previously stored
away in his mind. The volume is full of in
terest and instruction, genially written and

Two or three letters have recently been re-
ceived asking for the story of Ruskin's mar
riage. The story is this: When compare
lively young he became interested in an
unworldly maiden, some years his junior,
whom be thought beautiful, according to the
rules and theories of art, and whom be wooed
on art principles. He married her, though he
was too unnatural TO need wife, and treated
her as if she had been q statue, admiring her
in cold, abstract way, not altogether CRATE
full to young woman of ardent temperament,
Months passed. their relations undergoing no
change, he contented, she disconnected.
Meanwhile he had engaged Mllais. with
whom as pre-Raphaelite he was much con-
cerned, to paint her portrait. The suscepti-
BILE artist was struck by her beauty, and
being Of totally different constitution from
Ruskin, fell passonately in love with her.
But loyal to his friend, and man Of honor,
he showed her only the conventional respect
that was due, sitting the hunger Of his heart.
Ruskin was at last aroused to his own mari
tai defects, and to a sense of the mutual love
between his wife and the painter. He finally
opened the subject, and, blaming himself for
marrying, told her what he had observed.
Overwhelmed with surprise and confusion,
and unconscious up to that time Of her own
emotions or the awakening OF her heart, the
truth suddenly dawned upon her She found
that she was only woman after all, not
frigid figure for the lofty pedestal on which
her nominal husband had placed her He
acted magnanimously, deciding not to stand
in the way of the happiness of two persons
who were fitted for each other. The matter
was managed quietly, but in due time she
was released from her matrimonial bonds and
became Mrs. Millai'. The celebrated artist
having been knighted, she is now Lady
Millais. The three have been good friends
ever since, and two Of them are indebted to
the third for their connubial happiness, and
still wildly mindful of their obligation
